A2 Digipak: Front Cover Ideas

The image below is my first idea for a CD cover. I have decided that I don't want to use a photograph of a band/artist. This is because we didn't use any in our music video but we also do not have any people available to us. Also, when i was researching existing digipaks, I was most drawn to the covers that had used album art instead of photographs. The images below are simple basic ideas. The first one is White background with multi-coloured font, and a black border. I liked the use of bright colour. This along with the contrasting backgrounds would create a bold digipak that would stand out.

This next rough design is of a suit and tie. Again, I have tried use bright colours and bold lines to help make the CD cover stand out. This idea is more related to our music video, however, existing products never relate to just one promo video so it is unlikely that I will use this one.


Similarly to my first idea, I decided to use a white pen on a black background for contrast. This would make the album cover stand out. Although the cartoon-like woman isn't really relevant.


This is my favourite design so far. It is supposed to represent a compilation of several colourful fabrics with "Vampire Weekend" stitched on. Because I am not relating my digipak too much to the promo video, I think that this will be more of a challenge but also present a high result.

The one feature all CD covers have in common is that they include the artist and stand out. This is why I have tried to do this.
